Idiot: YOU CAN'T WEIGH ME
Doctor: Well fuck I guess I'll just have to guess on this dosage and/or diagnosis.
Yeah, they have a response to that.I've seen the notes of this post, and one person even unironically asked if they could refuse having their blood pressure taken, too. Even if you agree that being weighed isn't important, I'm pretty sure your blood pressure
is. It's like you can't even
imply that weight
might be a contributing factor to a health problem, let alone a cause.
It sometimes feels like the message went from "being overweight may not actually have an affect on your personal health as an individual and sometimes society and doctors assume it does when it doesn't because of bias" to "obesity absolutely does not have any negative health affects ever in any situation".
